Post-surgery
This year, on September 22,2011, I had my prostate removed. There were cancerous cells in it and decided to have the operation to remove all traces of cancer. Surgery took 8 hours and I was in recovery for 3 1/2 hours. I chose DaVinci (robotic) surgery. I was home for about four weeks before returning to work. I'm back at work and recovering nicely. I face another 4-6 months of recovery though as I am temporarily impotent and slightly incontinent. Post-surgery, the removed organs were thoroughly biopsied and found to have no cancer spreading elsewhere. About two weeks ago, I had another PSA test and it was undetectable which is best case scenario.
